Tiger Woods Is the 1st Black Athlete to Become A Billionare


According to Forbes, Woods' FedEx Cup win this year earned him a hefty $10 million check, nudging his total career earnings at over $1 billion.

Tiger's progress has been tracked by the mag ever since he joined the PGA Tour in 1996. First, he landed a record $40 million contract from Nike, and then he won the Masters by a record 12 strokes, becoming the youngest winner ever and first black player to take the title. That was just the start of his career.
